Rat urine poses such a significant health risk that Abolish Pest Control recommends the use of biohazard suits, complete with gloves and respirators, when removing it. Waste removal experts focus on attics as the main nesting area, using vacuum cleaners equipped with special filters.
Rat urine, like human urine, can vary in different degrees. Normally, it will be a light yellow. If the rat is highly active, it will be taking in a lot of water. This may result in urine that is lighter or clear. This is absolutely normal in most circumstances. If the rat is drinking excessively and is not active, that could be a sign of trouble. Older or dehydrated rats may have darker urine.
